How long would it take to replace a 1998 3800 Camaro engine?

-Conditions:



-It's in our own garage

-We highered a guy we know personally to help install it

-Borrowed an engine hoist from a neighbor

-Got the stands and everything

-Plan to be working on it at any available times possible, ourselves and the mechanic



So how long in total do you think it'd take to un-install the old and re-install the new one? We already did some basic stuff like taking the air intake duct out, the battery, taking the hood off, and taking the interior console out to expose the transmission.Engine hoist good, but this engine's coming out the bottom! Remove trans, hoist for motor mounts, remove struts, kick wheels to the side. I do them often, about 3hr out. But don't feel bad if it takes a good 8-10hrs on your back. Think it through, Good luckHello Steve,

I do heavy line work like that at a dealership in Oklahoma City and in our shop it takes about 6 to 7 hours to remove and re-install another engine.....Hope this helps.....
12 to 15 hours at your house it just always take a little longer than usual but its all good.hope this helps ya.
